No picks for the Raiders in the first and second round of this year’s draft. They spent those by sending them to Green Bay for Davante Adams. So, their draft started in the third round.
No one expects the Raiders to ‘win’ the draft without any high picks. I mean, whatever it means to ‘win’ a draft. All they can do is try to maneuver the draft, get good value, and fill some needs.
The ultimate hope is to get a few starters out of it. Whether that be immediately or down the road. But the grades for that will come, well, down the road.
How they worked the draft we grade now. So, let’s get to it.
